We are very happy to present you with our latest video for the song "Deep in my Soul". The song was originally written by hammond player Nello 'Neil' Otupacca who even was a band mate of mine back in the days. Leo immediately fell in love with it when he heard it for the first time, but unfortunately it was never released. That's why I simply had to ask Nello, if he agrees that we record it for »III.« It's almost a kind of prayer that especially highlights the gospel side of Eugent's vocals; a very emotional piece whose intimacy got nicely captured at an old church ruin where only our singer can be seen performing. But is there anybody else out there?

Music by Nello Otupacca

Last but not least, Ekaterina Bosova Leonova created its memorable artwork.

So here it is...Our latest video "Sometimes" from the coming album CoreLeoni III.

Band initiator Leo Leoni comments, "It's about daily life and how we feel, everyone experiencing ups and downs. Every person can get up happily in the morning, but also wish that the same day would be over immediately. Some put their trust in God and others in their own strength. Everyone go through moments in which they need hope and courage. That's exactly what this song is all about - and that it's worth to believe that hope and courage get rewarded in the end."

We are happy to announce another special show. On May 13, we will have a special Release Party concert at Old Capitol in Langenthal. Just click the links for TICKETS and INFO.

Marc Storace has been an iconic voice on the scene for almost 50 years. Marc Storace created an incomparable career in the 70s as the singer of TEA and after their dissolution immediately as the frontman of what is probably the most famous Swiss rock band KROKUS. Now he's on the road with his solo project STORACE and he's still showing how real hard rock works!

CORELEONI was founded in 2017 by Gotthard guitarist Leo Leoni. After the classic hard rockers CORELEONI recently announced that they will release their new album entitled »III« on May 13th, 2022, the band has now released a first music video for the new songs! 'Let Life Begin Tonight' sets the mood for the upcoming record and gives fans a good first impression of the skills of new lead singer Eugent Bushpepa.

MEGAWATT made their debut in the Swiss hard rock scene in 2020 with their self-titled album and things have been going uphill ever since! Gold award for the album, "Best Breaking Act" at the Swiss Music Awards 2021 and hit singles like 80er Johr and Heimatgfühl have played MEGAWATT in the hearts of the fans. The new album promises to turn 2022 into a Swiss rock year as well.

After a long break, all three bands are more than ready to do what they do best again on the country's stages: Hard Rock All Night Long! Three generations of Swiss hard rock in one evening shouldn't be missed!

Information about all shows can be found here: https://www.goodnews.ch/veranstaltungen/rock-generation-tour-2022/

Ladies and gentlemen, a new Coreleoni era has started today!

We’re really excited and proud to present our brand new single “Let Life Begin Tonight”, the first taken from our new studio album “III”, which will be released on may 13th 2022 on @atomicfirerecords.

CoreLeoni signs with Atomic Fire Records - New album on the way!

They are one of the most passionate homages to classic hard rock that has stood out in recent years: CORELEONI, founded in 2018. In the center of the formation literally beats the musical (lion-)heart of guitar icon and GOTTHARD founding member Leo Leoni.

"I'm happy and honored to be a part of this new and exciting chapter! Thank you, Atomic Fire Records, for keeping the metal community alive and healthy, long live rock 'n' roll," comments Leo Leoni, guitar player and the heart of the band.

"I am following GOTTHARD since day one," says Atomic Fire Records CEO and founder Markus Wosgien and adds: "They were the hottest hard rock act of the 90's and I was always thrilled by their amazing riffs. Leo Leoni is a prodigy, he lives, breaths and plays rock 'n' roll like no one else. Luckily, I was able to work with GOTTHARD on their »Lipservice«, »Need To Believe« und »Firebirth« records, developed a friendship with the members and was also happy to see Leo going back to his more heavier roots with CORELEONI. Now we are proud to welcome the band to the Atomic Fire Records family!"

In 2018, CORELEONI surprised the rock community with their »The Greatest Hits - Part 1«, which was released seemingly overnight. The album, which revived the old GOTTHARD classics - and with them the spirit of the time - caused quite a stir. CORELEONI's third work will be released in May 2022.

New on board with CORELEONI is singer Eugent Bushpepa. With his powerful voice, he adds a whole new level of authenticity and old spirit to the songs. "I don't think anyone has released an album like this in a long time," Leo Leoni states. "Hardly anyone thinks and writes in this way anymore or still uses Les Pauls guitars and Marshall amps the way we do. Personally, as a rock fan, I've missed that a lot in recent years. And Eugent Bushpepa has turned out to be an absolute stroke of luck for that. He underlines vocally exactly what I feel like doing and what I want to hear on a new rock album."

Born in Tirana/Albania, the musician and songwriter Eugent Bushpepa started his career early: already at the age of six, he won a national singing competition. After school, he moved to Bologna/Italy to study dentistry until he began his professional career with the band SUNRISE in 1998. With them, he opened for DEEP PURPLE and Duff McKagan (ex-GUNS N' ROSES) among others. Since 2011, he has been working as a vocal coach for the TV format »The Voice Of Albania«. In 2018, he represented his home country at the »Eurovision Song Contest« in Lisbon (song: 'Mall') and reached the seventh position.

"The first time I actually noticed Eugent was at the ESC," says Leo Leoni about him. "I liked his voice right away and I also liked his ESC song. Then when we got into the situation of having to look for a new singer, he immediately came back to my mind and I just contacted him. He was astonished at first and pleased alike. He is a great singer and an amazingly great person. He has an incredible amount of soul and emotion in his voice and his way of making music. That fascinates me a lot and I hope you guys out there as well."

Watch out for the first new single to be unveiled in January 2022!

CORELEONI are:

Eugent Bushpepa | vocals

Leo Leoni | guitars

Jgor Gianola | guitars

Mila Merker | bass

Alex Motta | drums

Dear friends, unfortunately our singer Eugent tested positive Covid19, so he won’t be with us on Sunday at Tamaro Music Day. We are very sorry and we wish Eugent a quick recovery!❤️But we want to be there with you that day, and we will! With Alto Voltaggio, Jgor’s and Alex’s band, and with Leo and Mila as very special guests for this wonderful music day. We wait for you to join us and party!!!

UPDATE ! Due to bad weatherforecast, the show is cancelled !!

We are pleased to announce that CoreLeoni will be taking part to the Run To The Hill Festival Jaunpass on 30/7/2021!

DEGGENDORF SHOW CANCELED

We regret to announce that the rumors say that our promoter of the show Dec 17th in D-Deggendorf went bankrupt and that it seems that the show will not happen.

We are very sorry for this bad news but the situation is completely out of our hands right now. We have no official information from the promoter yet but ticket sale got stopped by promoter and the venue has informed us that the promoter obviously went bankrupt because all his other shows got cancelled as well. Nothing official yet but all seems that this is the reality.

At the moment we are waiting for getting in contact with the liquidator of the company in order to discuss any further steps and solutions. But without his okay we can not do anything.

We might have a chance to get another show nearby but without fast approval of the liquidator we can not do anything. We keep you updated!

As far as we are informed all people who bought tickets via „OK Ticket“ get a refund but people bought tickets via Eventim don´t!

Please contact the sales point where you have bought your ticket and check directly.
